Very bad ball selection from Rohit. It was not needed while Dube has already taken 11 run from first 3 balls. After long time I have the time to watch a full T20 match LOL.
India are two down!

West Indies knew that Indian batsman has the capability to chase any score and now they won the toss and elected to field and lets see how much runs India can score, i am going for West Indies to win the match as they too have some solid players and if they win this one then we can have an interesting third match rather than watching a dead rubber.
The news from the center is that WI has won toss and given the batting to India. In the last match, the indian chased well so this is a good decision for the West Indian captain to ball first. They have to now restrict India otherwise India can take away the game from them with the kind of batting form they have.
Who do you think will win today's match between India. And West Indies.
I am expecting India to win the match and it is played in Kerala and i expect Kohli to give Sanju Samson an opportunity in this match to play, if not the entire crowd might boo the team from start to finish

Both teams have a brilliant batting line up and the game changer was Kohli' s batting last time.
It was a masterclass chase by Rahul and Kohli and we might expect the same intensity today too. Both teams have a brilliant batting line up and the game changer was Kohli' s batting last time.

If I am to pick an honest winner then it will be India of course LOL but in the pool I think I will go with a tie (Pool needs to have some spice LOL ). ~snip~

Unless the Indians get overconfident and complacent (which happened during the second T20I versus Bangladesh), they should win the match. West Indies team bonding is still not there, and they need to concentrate on their bowling. All the bowlers apart from Cottrell failed last time. Walsh, Holder, Williams.etc needs to give support to Sheldon Cottrell, if they want to defeat India.

I think the only hope now for the Pakistani team is to forget the past and look forward towards the future. The PSL is the next big thing in the Pakistan T20 league and hopefully many players will find the form back in this tournament and we might also find some new good players.
P.S I will come up with a new PSL thread soon.

From what I have heard, PSL is not doing good. Many of the franchises are in financial loss, and they recently reduced the salaries of many top players. The problem is that all the other cricket boards want to copy the IPL and replicate a similar tournament in their home countries. The idea is good, but they should study about the viability first. And given the poor economic condition of Pakistan right now, I don't think that the PSL can do any wonders. One good thing is that this time they are scheduling all the matches within Pakistan, unlike the previous editions where only one or two matches were played in Pakistan and the rest being staged in UAE.

PSL was a good initiative and that is the reason Pakistan dominated the T20 format for a long time but now the batsman are lacking confidence and they are not performing and so is the reason they are getting defeated and i hope they next edition will instill confidence in the players and will help finding in form players for the next world cup. P.S I will come up with a new PSL thread soon.
There was a time when cricket meant India and Pakistan but now it's only India.
Even still the matches between India and Pakistan will be the most sponsors gainers and money generating ones, despite the Pakistani team bad performance recently.
It is difficult to suggest who will be the winner of next T20 world cup because it will be held in October and there is still a lot of time for the teams to prepare and come strong to this cup. I am also looking to see South Africa could perform well as an underdog team in the next WC. Their current rating is at No 4 and India current T20 rating is No. 5.
Ranking does not matter otherwise Pakistan would have performed much better in the last few series.

The problem with Pakistan is that they were performing well in the past two years in the T20 format and so is the reason they are ranked well above the rest of the teams and now they are struggling because their batsman are not in form and after the failure against Sri Lanka at home they have completely changed their team and you need to give them time start performing again like they used to and in the T20 format you cannot judge a team with the rankings as you might see upsets every now and then.

He was struggling to get his touch back. He was having difficulties to chase down runs in T20 and ODI. But I think today he just gets back his magical touch and wins it for India. Two of his flick and the last six were best of the match.
Undoubtedly India is one of the possible winner of the upcoming T20 world cup. The fashion they win the matches is a beauty to see. I was thinking a win for WI after having that much run in the scoreboard but I was wrong. Good thing that I was not in gambling mood or could lose money easily. India made this chase so easy that it never felt that it was 200+ runs to chase.He was struggling to get his touch back. He was having difficulties to chase down runs in T20 and ODI.

By the way, I like the way Kohli finished the match and also the celebration of the winning hit. This guy is a legend although he still has a long way to go to get his name next to the other legands like Sachin.

It won't be easy for any team to lift the T-20 World Cup, but the Indian team looks damn strong and they will be a lot stronger once Bumrah is back in the fold. This is why I can understand why many people consider them as the potential champions of the upcoming World Cup tournament.
If you are looking for a good T20 team then England have the most chance to become a double champion, ODI world cup champion and now the T20 world cup as they have the best T20 batsman in the team and they have the bowling to back it up and they have the team to chase any score, so my money is on England to win as it will be a rare double. The problem with India is that the team is dependent on Kohli and if he misfires they might loose the match.
I enjoyed the last night's match. Lot of emotions and trash talk in games but Kohli totally silenced those. I loved the part when Kohli mimicked Williams celebration when he scored off a 6 on one of his deliveries. Kohli was so hyper yesterday but eventually it paid off. He kinda struggled at the start tho.
BTW I won yesterday's bet after waiting for conclusion of the first. Got some cheesy odds on India and prayed for starting to 3 to play some good innings and they did. Doubled my money- Thanks to Rahul and Kohli

The same was said about India before the ODI world cup as well (CWC 2019), but they even failed to reach the final. Undoubtedly India is one of the strongest T20 teams out there, but IMO, the winner of the 2020 T20 World Cup is going to be either England or Australia. West Indies may reach the semi-finals, but they may find it difficult to find a slot in the final.
I agree that India are choking these days when reaching the finals of major tournaments, but I don't think that will happen every single time. It might come down to India and England in the finals in my opinion.Well, I'm not agree with you. Although India has won the match, don't forget the bowling action of WI are some kind of worst. ENG, AUS & NZ are far better than WI bowling and it will not be easy for India to lift the t20 world cup.

This is why I can understand why many people consider them as the potential champions of the upcoming World Cup tournament.Rahul & Kohli partnership seal the match for India and what a way to chase down the score of 208 runs and that too with 6 wickets remaining and 8 balls to spare. Shows how well they batted under the pressure of chasing such a huge score.
From the way they batted, it never looked as if they were under pressure.
But it is definitely humiliating for the West Indies to lose a match, even after scoring such a massive total. They need to think seriously about their bowlers. None of them apart from Cottrell performed well. Perhaps it won't be a very bad idea to recall Sunil Narine and replace either Khary Pierre or Hayden Walsh. Pierre picked up two wickets, but his bowling looked sub-standard.
